 “No one said it would be easy. They just said it would be worth it.” -Entry in SCA Crew Journal, Yosemite National Park
Building a trail in the Tetons. Tracking desert tortoise in the Mojave Desert. Conducting environmental education in the Adirondacks. SCA opens the door to an array of rewarding conservation volunteer opportunities and breathtaking venues. Our programs include:
Conservation Internships
For those 18 and older. Live and work with resource management professionals at natural and cultural sites nationwide. Internships available throughout the year in all fields; terms from three to twelve months. Expenses paid, plus living allowance, travel grant.
Conservation Corps
Also for those 18 and older. Trained and supervised by SCA staff, corps of ten or more provide specialized conservation services in rustic, residential setting. Service terms similar to Conservation Interns.
Conservation Crews
For current high school students, aged 15-19. Serve in crews of six-to-eight members (plus experienced crew leaders) for approximately one month during summer vacation. Build trails, restore lands, make new friends, explore the outdoors. Tuition-free.
Community Initiatives
For high school youth in leading metropolitan areas. Diverse students participate in outdoor field trips, community service projects, and weekend excursions in and around the city in which they live.
"Through SCA I had the chance to actually get out there and be an environmentalist, rather than just talking about it," says Nathan Taxel. "Everything about my experience was profound."
